Registration for the 2026 World Outdoor Ball Hockey Championships (WOBHC), presented by Knapper, is still open — but time is running short for Weekend #1.
Now in its third decade, the WOBHC traces its roots back to the Ballhockey.com Provincial Championships, with champions engraved on our trophies dating back to 1999. In 2026, the event returns to St. Catharines across two championship weekends and seven divisions.
Weekend #1 — September 11–13, 2026
Men’s B, Men’s D, Women’s Open
Registration deadline: end of day September 2, 2026
Roster deadline: September 7, 2026 at 11:59 PM
Weekend #2 — October 2–4, 2026
Men’s C, Co-ed Open, Co-ed Rec, Over 50
Registration deadline: end of day September 23, 2026
Roster deadline: September 28, 2026 at 11:59 PM
Entry is $850 + HST per team, with a maximum roster of 20 players including goalies. Champions in every division take home personalized BAUER lightweight jackets (a Worlds classic, valued at over $2,500 per full roster.)
Teams must comply with divisional restrictions and the Events Player Ratings Database — this event contributes to ratings in the future update as well (ratings available at: ballhockeyratings.com).
